Paragon Banking Group PLC issued a £200 million Green Tier 2 bond at a 6.5% coupon maturing in September 2036, priced 205 basis points above gilts and upsized due to strong demand, with proceeds directed to funding low-carbon residential properties and motor vehicles as part of its sustainability program. The deal followed by Paragon upsizing from £175 million and a 2.8x oversubscribed orderbook, marking the tightest reset spread for a sub-benchmark sterling Tier 2 issue and replacing an earlier, wider-spread instrument. In addition, Paragon completed a separate green Tier 2 issue of £250 million at 4.25% with a 10-year maturity (extendable by up to five years), also oversubscribed and earmarked for renewable energy and energy-efficient infrastructure in line with its regulatory capital plan. The group has also announced the early redemption of its £150 million 4.375% Fixed Rate Reset Callable Subordinated Tier 2 Notes due 2031 on 5 August 2026, with the notes to be delisted and trading ceased accordingly. Analysts’ views on PAG vary, with TipRanks noting a Buy rating and a price target around £1,010, while Spark’s AI-based analysis presents a Neutral stance and highlights leverage and volatility risks. Together, these moves reflect Paragon’s ongoing strategy to strengthen its capital position and support its sustainability-focused lending, alongside adjustments to its subordinated debt structure.
